Chapter 446 Eternal Light and the Elixir of Immortality ([-])
At that moment, Mo Liming and Tang Yan noticed that an old farmer was kicked out of the antique shop not far in front, they didn't know what happened, the boss would drive him out for no reason, Could it be because the man was dressed so plainly? Thinking about it this way, they found it inconceivable. The moment they saw the old farmer, Mo Liming felt pity in his heart. Feeling of sympathy, because he was also very poor before, and people looked down upon him, so at that moment, he walked up to him without thinking about it, and asked the old farmer about related matters.

The old farmer was not tall, but very thin, and he felt skinny, which made people feel more compassionate.

"Hey, they don't want it!"

The old farmer shook his head and sighed.

"Why not?" Mo Liming asked in surprise.

The old farmer shook the thing he was holding in his hands and said, "It's this painting. I asked many shops, but they didn't accept me."

After hearing his answer, Mo Liming and Tang Yan immediately looked at each other in blank dismay, and they suddenly realized in their hearts. Mo Liming soon realized that this was the case. The old farmer brought something and wanted to go to those antique shops to deal with it. , but the other party didn't accept it, so he was frowning and dejected.

Mo Liming immediately asked back: "Old man, what is this thing of yours? Is it a painting? An ancient painting?"

The old farmer nodded quickly and said, "Yes, it is an ancient painting, very long. It has been passed down from generation to generation in my family."

"Is it passed down from generation to generation in your family? Isn't that a family heirloom?" Mo Liming asked casually again.

After hearing the other party's answer, he couldn't help feeling a little suspicious in his heart, because he knew well that whenever he mentioned what he was holding in front of others, it was a family heirloom or something like that. , there will probably be discrepancies.

Mo Liming is quite clear about some things in the antique market. In the antique business, you'd better not listen to any stories. The more the other party says the extravagantly, the more unbelievable it is, because the stories are all fabricated. , in order to sell things, saying that the things they bring are family treasures, this is their most common method.

Soon Mo Liming came to his senses, and realized why the shopkeeper called out the old farmer, because they didn't believe him and thought that what he brought was not worthy of trust.

In the antique industry, there is such a phenomenon that some scammers use the simplicity of farmers to deceive the majority of antique collectors. They put ordinary and poor things in the hands of farmers and let them trade, which It is called "landmine burying". In the early days, this phenomenon still existed, and many people believed it. However, as everyone's knowledge of antiques improved, they gradually became less convinced. I don't pay attention to the things on the Internet, and if I encounter them, I will treat them as fakes.

Mo Liming hadn't been deceived by any peasants before, but he still had a sense of caution. He knew that he couldn't be careless, so that he stepped on a landmine, which would cause him to be bruised all over his body and suffer a lot of losses.

However, for the old farmer at present, Mo Liming didn't have any other unpleasant emotions except sympathy. After all, he felt that the old farmer was definitely not a liar. His words sounded very honest. It doesn't leak water, it doesn't look like it at all.

"That's right." The old farmer said solemnly, "It's my family heirloom."

"Well, yes. That's really good." Mo Liming said.

He didn't immediately believe that the other party's painting was genuine, it was just a feeling, at least he felt that the other party would not be a liar.

"Then old man, since it is your family heirloom, why are you so eager to sell it?"

It was Tang Yan who suddenly asked this question. She felt very strange. Why did the other party sell a family heirloom? Such a good thing should be passed down from generation to generation. If you sell the ancestral property for money, wouldn't you be sorry for the ancestors above.

The old farmer said with a bitter face: "But, I have no choice. We need money very much."

"Oh, do you really need money?" Tang Yan asked back.

The old farmer nodded solemnly and said: "Yes. My eldest daughter-in-law is seriously ill and is lying in the hospital. She needs money for an operation. If it is delayed, I am afraid that she will die. Hey, I am very sad now. Urgent! If anyone accepts my painting, it will be fine, and I can use the money to treat my eldest daughter-in-law. However, I asked many antique shops, and they didn’t want it. They just said the painting was not good. Well, no one wants it!"

"Hey!"

Hearing what the old farmer said, Mo Liming and Tang Yan looked at each other, both of them couldn't help but sighed lowly, feeling sorry for the old farmer.

If it is as he said, then the situation he is facing is really miserable and deserves sympathy.

"Then old man, how much are you going to sell this painting of yours for?"

Afterwards, Mo Liming asked casually.

The old farmer replied: "It's enough to sell for 2 yuan. Because my daughter-in-law needs 3 to [-] yuan for this operation and treatment."

"Oh." Mo Liming nodded in response.

It's only 2 yuan, which is naturally not a big deal for them, it's just a dime for you.

"Xiaoyan, let's sit down."

Suddenly, Mo Liming turned his head and whispered to Tang Yan.

Tang Yan asked casually, "Liming, what's the matter?"

Mo Liming said: "Let's take a look at this old man's picture scroll. If it's not bad, we'll accept it. It's also a big favor for him. We'd rather believe it than believe it. Saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda."

"Well, okay." Tang Yan nodded and agreed without thinking.

It's only 2 yuan, which is nothing to her.

"Old man, can we sit down and have a chat?"

Later, Mo Liming turned his head and said to the old farmer.

"Young man, can you buy my painting?" The old farmer's eyes brightened when he heard Mo Liming's words.

Mo Liming nodded and said: "Old man, let's talk about it after reading it. If the item is not bad, then we will accept it."

"Well, that's good!"

The old farmer nodded without hesitation and said.

Then, he and Tang Yan led the old farmer into a nearby teahouse.

They are about to start talking. Of course, what Mo Liming wants to see is that picture scroll. If it's okay, then accept it. It's a favor.
